It's May and I had hoped that the weather would be reasonable for Enoch's birthday party, but no luck! Instead of sunshine, it rained buckets. I had originally planned to have E's party outside at a park (taking the easy route!), but at the last minute we moved the party into the house. It was really fun to gather with family and friends to celebrate Enoch's second birthday! Enoch usually loves to sing happy birthday and blow out candles, but he had some stage fright on his birthday. No worries, Maeve was more than happy to step up and blow out his candles for him.

Oh my heart, my little man, Enoch, is two years old! And oh how I love him! Enoch is an amazing child. He's so intelligent and he's a hard worker. He loves his siblings, especially Ira. Enoch loves Conor and I, although if Dad isn't working, that's who Enoch wants! Every afternoon, Enoch walks laughing through the dining room to Conor's office. He knows how much we delight in him! Enoch is crazy about trucks! Conor cut his hair the night before his birthday and came up with a great idea to keep him still. Enoch doesn't watch tv or shows, but Conor put a compilation of videos of trucks on for Enoch and he was so into it! Easiest haircut ever! I love the feeling of Enoch's arms draped across my shoulders and his body relaxed into me. Enoch really likes books and my heart bursts every time he backs his little booty onto my lap. One day last week, Enoch was looking for his truck book. He had just had it 30 minutes sooner and I couldn't find it! Later, when I opened the fridge it fell onto the floor!

We gave Enoch a water table for his birthday and the kids loved playing with it without water. I think he's going to like it even more when it has water in it. I also gave him two board books, each individually wrapped. He held one for himself and offered Ira the second. This is just a small example of what kind of heart Enoch has. I love my boy with all my heart!

I'm so proud of my girl, Holly, for really getting involved with school sports this year! She loved it! This past week was her last Track and Field Meet and Holly threw javelin and ran 400m. She's steadily improved and grown throughout the season. And I've proved to myself that I can be the mom with 3 small children in the rain and still doing it! Holly had 3 practices a week, 1 meet a week, and one of the practices started at 7am. She worked really hard!

Would somebody please convince my boys to wear ball caps this summer? They are so cute in hats! Look at Ira in his diaper and hat. What a man!

And then check him out eating from a dumped pile of cheerios, so innocent!

This little guy is so joyful. Lately, I've had him snuggle with me when he wakes up from a nap every now and then. I love when he rolls into me, sucks his thumb, and lays content close to me. I love Ira!
